1- If you started playing Pokemon Chronicles for the first time or with v17.0, you should be able to check your key item: Journal to see the quests log. If not, he will appear after you speak to slowking in altering cave.

2- If you beaten the johto elite four, received the silver wing from the old man in pewter, you'll be able to battle lugia, you can capture it or not but it is required further in the game.

Other way it's impossible, because the zapdos npc will ONLY appear when you beat lugia in whirl islands, and that is the only way to get the zapdos orb.

3- Talk to people, use item finder, or search in trashcans in kanto region, for example, you will find more than 1 of that kind of items.I madded a game for players to explore, not to give them all the answers, its kind of "cheating" the game.

1- Play type quiz in cinnabar lab.2- Gain the special coins from that minigame.3- Go to the last floor of the game's creator mansion in celadon city and use the special coins in that machine.4- You'll got random items, if you got luck you will receive some of them. This special coins can be used only in one machine type.

Pokémon from Sinnoh and forth will be available through pokeradar too, but it's still under development.

1. It depends on the machine that you used. Ex: if you used the machine with fossil prizes, they will go to key items bag, tms for tms bag and so on. Note that all the items on those machines in celadon creator mansion are random and to know what you earn you must check your bag, because when players uses the machines, they don't display any message about the prized item.
